  • I wish your comment wasn’t downvoted as it is fair.

    While this community is hosted on our Canadian instance, I believe that it’s still fair to post here as we (for better or for worse, currently worse) share close borders with the US and in the PC parts marketspace; generally whatever happens in the US tends to have effects up here as well.


    Extras:

    Funnily enough in this case however; Trump’s decision will likely make markets outside the US better, Why?: well American companies themselves will likely redirect incoming parts to other nations as the tarrif cost will be difficult to bear in such short notice.

    • we saw this happen during Trump’s initial tarrif snafu and we’re probably gonna see this happen…again. What a fucking moron.

    For my American friends, this really blows and I’m sorry :/

    For those who I know, when I’ve got time I’ll try to calculate if it’s worth shipping parts into the US from Canada. It’s so stupid that THIS is the timeline we’re living in.

    While I personally don’t believe in the existence of gods or any supernatural beings, if others want to believe in it I think it’s fine.

    If people encroach on other’s choices that’s where I’ll personally draw the line.

    • aka don’t force others to make the same choices as yourself. Don’t become Microslop.



  • they intend to confiscate with little support from the provinces.

    Your post title:

    Federal government confirms 25 guns collected in ‘buyback’ pilot, as Quebec pledges support


    CBC:

    The government also announced Wednesday it will provide up to $12.4 million to cover costs incurred by Quebec to run the buyback program in the province.

    Quebec Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière said in a statement the province supports the federal program, calling it a step toward safer communities.

    National Post:

    The public safety department announced it would compensate Quebec to the tune of $12 million to assist in coordinating collection efforts.

    Quebec is one of several provinces with its own provincial police force, the Sûreté du Québec, and is the first province to publicly declare its intention to support the federal program.















  • It’s an interesting scenario.

    I’d posit that the possibility mostly depends on the aquisition of RAM by Valve before the memory market implosion.

    If Valve is able to successfully sell Steam Machines then other SIs and manufacturers might revisit the gaming market.


    Based on Micron’s action of exiting the consumer market (by killing off their Crucial division) I’d imagine that most manufaturers are considering doing the same as the demand from AI hyperscalers has become obnoxiously enticing for most corporate entities.
